At last, this weekend the brand new Whaleboat open water rowboat went in for its first sea trials. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad so nobody was available for shooting action shots. But you can trust us, the boat handled perfectly and the crew was pleased with the performance. More pictures to be posted.

After months of sweaty evenings and horrible cursing, our CNC beauty Ella finally reveals her magnificent lines and soft skin :) Yes yes yes, she is ready for carbon/infusion.
